MIX 11 is coming and the Open Call sessions are ready to be voted on. If you like hearing me speak, feel free to vote for my sessions:

**The Next Application Platform? All of them
**To Vote: http://live.visitmix.com/OpenCall/Vote/Session/200

We spent some of last year concerning and arguing over platforms. HTML5 versus Silverlight; Android versus iPhone; H.264 versus WebM. The fact is that users don?t care about platforms. Users care about experiences. In this talk, Shawn Wildermuth will talk about the new ecosystem where building applications across a variety of screens (TV, Computers, Tablets and Phones) will become the norm. Reaching users wherever they are is what real business applications are going to have to do. Instead of betting on a platform, Shawn will convince that building across those platforms is the right choice.

**Optimizing Data Intensive Windows Phone 7 Applications
**To Vote: http://live.visitmix.com/OpenCall/Vote/Session/201

As many of the Windows Phone 7 applications we are writing are using data, it becomes more and more important to understand the implications of that data. In this talk, Shawn Wildermuth will talk about how to monitor and optimize your data usage. Whether you?re using Web Services, JSON or OData, there are ways to improve the user experience and we?ll show you how!

See you there!
